End of Summer lake Vacay
We enjoyed our stay at Dock around the clock. The weather was not the best for the first part of our stay but we still enjoyed just relaxing on the porch while the kids enjoyed the game room. We had a few issues when we first arrived but Allison quickly replied to our emails/texts and helped find answers to the problems. We appreciated her response in a timely manner and we would Deff recommend staying at Dock around the Clock.

Amazing View
My family stayed at this property for a few days and had an amazing time. This is one of the best views and house locations that we have stayed in. Loved having our boat just a few steps away so we could access it easily with little kids. The house was more than we needed and has been maintained very well. The host was very easy to work with and answered questions very promptly. Would definitely love to come again!

We had an enjoyable family vacation here for a few days with a pontoon boat rental. The hostess provided all the information we sought including where to rent from. The game room was an added bonus for family fun, and the screened in porch provided a great evening hangout.

Best place for our 50th birthday/girl's trip
We absolutely adored the property!! The kitchen is well stocked and the views are so peaceful and beautiful. We didn't try to navigate the roads to get there after dark but it was not a problem staying in and relaxing on the porch and the dock. (We didn't have the best phone service at times and it was a drive to get to the property. ) Verizon didn't work well but ATT service was great. Wifi worked well too onsite. Stairs are steep so keep in mind if you have little ones or elderly. Sunrise and sunsets on the porch were dreamy and we did not want to leave! The game room was perfect to watch a movie , play games and hang out. We felt completely safe and it was quiet and very peaceful. Water was a little cool for us in mid May so we didn't use paddleboards. We are already planning our return trip there!!

Lake Paradise
For a Mother’s Day weekend, I brought my mom, two aunts, and dad for a relaxing time at Dock Around the Clock. Booking was so easy and Allison communicated well throughout the process. We felt at home the moment we arrived- it’s so warm and welcoming! It had EVERYTHING we could ask for. There was plenty of storage places for our food and personal items throughout the house- pantry, cabinets, closets! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. There were places to gather throughout the property and enough space to have privacy. THE VIEW was wonderful. Most of our time was spent on the screened in porch- eating at the table, rocking and observing lake life, listening to wildlife and each other! I enjoyed walking down to the floating deck/ boat dock to sun and cool off in the lake using a provided float. My parents declared that they were now “lake people”! Thank you for making this weekend a true gift!

views and fun
We were able to spend an unplanned few days with close family friends at "Dock around the clock". It was our first time to Smith Lake. The pictures online do not give justice to how pretty the area is and the amazing lake views from the house. The dock was a favorite spot with the kids playing in the water and on the paddle boards. The house was great, especially with the detached game room, with plenty of room for our two families. We could have spent the whole time enjoying the different sitting areas on the decks. The house was clean and well appointed for our needs. The whole point to the trip was to spend time with friends, the house made the time that much better.

Stunning Inside and Out
This property is larger and lovelier than pictures! Ample (comfortable) seating, both inside and outside. Beautifully appointed home with well-stocked kitchen. Even has a second fridge, which would be critical for a large group on a week-long stay as shopping is 30 (Dollar Gen) to 45 (Walmart) minutes away via a plethora of 2-lane country roads. North-facing lake views are stunning, allowing ability to see sunrise and sunset to your right and left. Life here is all about the lake - this is not a location with tourist attractions to take kids to. It feels blissfully off-the-grid yet the Wi-Fi and tv streaming worked well on multiple devices! Do note that the house sits @40’ above the lake - while the very steep walkway to the dock is sturdy and well-railed, there are a couple places out back that have treacherous drop-offs, so small children would need to be corralled at all times. The game room bedroom is a separate building with its own bathroom…our teenagers adored the privacy but would also offer nice separation for multiple families!

A peaceful fall break.
With family traveling in town for an extended visit, I thought we'd try the lake rather than the beach. This property on Smith Lake is close to both Huntsville and Birmingham. The view from the deck and screened porch are just as shown. The dock was roomy and the entire area was peaceful. We couldn't have asked for a better view, layout and all around wonderful house on the lake for our family.
